Hey squ1zzy!

Really nice work!!!!

One question: Is it possible to make a patch like this also for 4:3 resolutions?

LeChuck

/edit:

I changed the res with hex editor.

Searched in file "At Worlds End.exe" hex offset 35E4E.

Horizontal resolution (some examples):

Hex Offset 35E4E | 35E4F

1152 = 80 04
1280 = 00 05
1600 = 40 06
1920 = 80 07
2048 = 00 08

Vertical resolution:

Hex Offset 35E54 | 35E55

864 = 60 03
960 = C0 03
1200 = B0 04
1440 = A0 05
1536 = 00 06

Saved the exe, started the game and changed resolution to 640x480. Et voila..... you have the desired resolution.

Anyway ... the game graphics will still be ugly :)

Greetings from germany!

After this I wouldn't have much trust in them personally. They didn't even know it happened until the hackers told them they'd done it !!

You wouldnt trust them as they were the victim of a hack? Virtually every major site (Amazon, Ebay, Microsoft etc etc) was and is and will continue to be victims of hackers. Be a fairly small internet if we avoid every site that gets targeted.

They are still in their beta roll out phase too, unlike the other sites I mentioned above.

I have to fully agree with this. Maybe you should stop coming to WSGF based on the fact that the forum software used here has been comprised dozens of times. Same logic.

I don't give my Name, Address, Date of Birth and Credit Card details to WSGF. Any site I do give those details to I have to trust them completely, and if i had recently read of a hack where these customer details (bar CC in that case) had been stolen, I would indeed avoid them. Surely that's just good sense ?
Our logic is obviously not comparable. Mine isn't so Black and White.

I see, I did not realize that you had the option of paying for advanced features (read: no advertisements) I dont know, I agree with what your saying somewhat, I.E. I would not buy their premium membership, But I would not be buying that even if it was from a source that I fully trust like Google.

I would still try it out if it was available in Canada. I'm too lazy to proxy in ect. Fake names = win on the internet.

Sorry for sounding like somewhat of an ass earlier.

You still do.

The vast majority of signups on Spotify do not pay anything, so no CC details exist for them. Then those that as using the free service do so under fake names and addresses (like me) as there is no reason to use anything different. So you wont be giving your CC, name, DOB or address to Spotify either.
So what if a bunch of useless crap is stolen, its still a garbage list. You arent signing your deeds away, its just a music streaming service! I would say your view is indeed very black and white?

Yeah, Im on for safety too, but as I said, so many sites and services have been hacked, if you avoid Spotify as it was merely more recent, then you need to avoid PayPal, Ebay, Google, Microsoft etc etc.

I said "bar CC in that case".

That's probably an incorrect generalisation, and would hardly be a reassuring point for the site if people feel they have to do this if true !

So what if a bunch of useless crap is stolen, its still a garbage list.

That's your opinion. I think my Name, email address and other personal details are a bit more important.

if you avoid Spotify as it was merely more recent, then you need to avoid PayPal, Ebay, Google, Microsoft etc etc.

I haven't heard any reports of personal records being hacked and stolen from these before, but if I had known about it before signing up to any of them I would have surely been wary.

I try to avoid a quote war, especially about opinion. It's utterly pointless.

It's generous of you to offer up the invites and I'm sure some people will be interested.

Pot. Kettle. Black. You might just wanna stop now eZ... if you were trying to avoid a quote war. Now, as a third party, I'm asking that neither of you reply to this or each other, and let it drop. This is a Spotify invite thread, and the discussion about it being hacked, while informative, was really pointless. Anyone who signs up for a service which does take credit card info should in their right mind, investigate if that system has been breached before, and draw their own conclusions from that.

Now, both of you, sit down, play nice, or i'll ask that you both be put in time-out. :lol:

Mates, if this thread turns in to one of "those" threads again I'll lock it immediately. Cut the crap and just be nice okay.

All i posted was a recent report which I think people should be aware of. It was taken with a fanboy-like reaction which then of course turned to attacks on personal behavior rather than the merits or otherwise of the actual website.

I ended my last post in a way that announced myself out of it all and welcomed people posting for invites, so your posts were unnecessary and actually served a negative purpose by extending this.
